ACADEMIC CALENDARS
CALENDAR COMMITTEE
Calendars are approved by the Board of Education as required under North Carolina General Statute 115C-84.2.
Each year, a Calendar Committee is formed, composed of school and district leaders, teachers, classified staff members and parents. This committee works to develop multiple calendar options for the upcoming school year. A survey is developed and distributed to staff and parents in all district schools with additional consideration given to neighboring districts' calendars. Based on the feedback and recommendation from the Calendar Committee, a proposed calendar is submitted to the School Board for approval.
Please contact the Superintendent of Lexington City Schools with questions regarding the calendar development process.
